Keep in mind that due to the conversational nature of a webcast/conference call, some comments may be imprecise and we advise you to consult with written material from the CDC or NH DHHS when you convey information to school communities. Do not hesitate to contact NH DHHS or NH DOE if clarification is required. Remember that recommendations may change over time.
